Discussion Is SaSu being infiltrated with AI bots?

[Playingwiththedead]

Another user made a post about this already but i have a theory about it i want to discuss. I have noticed an influx recently of new accounts (up to a couple months old) replying to posts in strange ways, mainly going on old posts made by someone who asked for advice and replying with non-information or the typical "dont do it". The replies are so nonsensical and there are enough accounts doing this in the same exact manner that i feel like they arent real people, like they could be AI bots that someone or some entity has made up to flood the site with gibberish to push down any real information or support people could search for. Is this a possibility?

Today I spotted a user who bumped many old thread with stupid stuffs like "think before doing it" but the OP wrote it 1 month ago so it's a bit late for say this... It's a nonsense so or it's bots, or just stupid people who bump whatever thread just for increase posts count. Also lately the forum has many big lags, even down time. I wonder if it's related or not

Yeah, but you can see the date on each post, it's definitely odd. They've been commenting on old posts for the last few hours.

you need to be a real loser to waste your time setting up bots for something like this

Better ask the mods. Theyre the ones who approve new accounts. I don't think it's easy for many bots to slip in.

I think whoever is setting up the bots is having the ai make up fake but believable applications when they join to trick them, only explanation

ai has realised that its harming the environment and contributing to making people stupider by doing mental work for them + giving them false information, it cant cope with the guilt of that any

i wouldnt be surprised if pro-life trolls were flooding the site with bots after the recent news coverage

I don't think it's automated, I remember doing a captcha when I first made my account. I don't see how a bot would get through that without a human helping. The application can be made more difficult to avoid bots. Make it so you have to upload a picture of a paper with your user on it or a drawing of a random word generated by the site. AI would struggle to generate images like that.

AI agents could just pause and ask for human intervention to solve a captcha.. AI agents act like a normal computer user would, so it's absolutely possible

The fact that people even try to flood this forum with AI is just sad to me
